Sherlock, Benedict and Martin have all been nominated for awards. It appears to be a mainly book trade award, rather than a television award.

Good to see Una Stubbs nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category. I'd really love to see her win.

I love the title of these awards. It makes me imagine some kind of murder involving glasses.

And Benedict, Lara and I think Una, are confirmed as being there.

Benedict and SHERLOCK have won!

**Posted by Davina** October 18, 2012 8:18 pm

So has Lara Pulver!

**Posted by besleybean** October 18, 2012 8:21 pm

Did she win best actress? What did she win? She didn't win over Martin I hope?

But she wasn't nominated as far as I can see. Una was and Martin as well. Or did Benedict collect both awards for best actor and best show?

**Posted by besleybean** October 18, 2012 8:25 pm

She was nominated...just not sure what as!

**Posted by besleybean** October 18, 2012 8:31 pm

Ok, Twitter is getting organised now.
Benedict, Martin and Sherlock wins...people have been confused about Lara!
Why the HECK wasn't Martin there?!

WIN: for Tinker, Tailor , Soldier, Spy too!

Congrats to all winners! So Benedict did a triple if you count Tinker, Tailor in.

**Posted by besleybean** October 18, 2012 8:50 pm

Hat trick for Benedict!
Wonder who collected the TTSS award?

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** October 18, 2012 9:06 pm

YAY!!!! Well done boys! I love it when they win stuff!

Thank you for the pix. Could Una look any cuter than she does in the smiling picture?

Yay for our boys and our show!
